Xareta es un precioso valle enclavado a los pies de los Pirineos formado por cuatro municipios situados a ambos lados de la frontera. Su nombre significa “tierra arbolada” y estas tierras hacen honor al mismo mostrándonos verdes prados, riachuelos llenos de encanto y frondosos bosques de hayas, robles, castaños y pinos. Pero además, la comarca nos invita a descubrir parajes mágicos, pueblos llenos de historia y leyendas, y antiguas sendas de comerciantes y peregrinos.
Uno de estos pueblos es Ainhoa.
La historia de Ainhoa se remonta hasta su fundación en el siglo XIII por el noble navarro Juan Pérez de Baztán. La localidad fue construida alrededor de uno de los ejes transfronterizos del Camino de Santiago y como vicaría de la Orden Premonstratense del Monasterio de Urdazubi-Urdax. Sin embargo su apariencia actual en la que destaca la arquitectura típica de la zona (con entramados de madera pintados de rojo o verde) corresponde a la reconstrucción que fue llevada a cabo en el siglo XVII tras los destrozos sufridos en la Guerra de los Treinta Años. Gracias a la conservación de esta tipología urbana, Ainhoa está incluida en la lista de “Los pueblos más bellos de Francia”.
Ainhoa se asienta a lo largo de una sola calle jalonada por antiguas y preciosas casas que conviven en perfecta armonía. No hay ninguna construcción moderna que rompa todo su encanto. Dar un paseo por Ainhoa es sinónimo de tranquilidad y belleza absoluta. Su histórica tradición comercial se mantiene viva y algunas pequeñas y coquetas tiendas nos ofrecen productos típicos, regalos y recuerdos. El buen hacer de los restaurantes sumado a la calidad de los productos de la zona convierten a la localidad en un destacado destino gastronómico. Al igual que ocurre en poblaciones cercanas, Ainhoa es un centro de encuentro de artesanos y todos los que nos acercamos tenemos la oportunidad de husmear entre coloridos talleres y preciosas tiendas.
Ainhoa guarda toda su esencia en su única calle que comienza junto a la plaza del frontón y la Iglesia de Notre Dame de L´Assomption. El frontón fue construido en 1849 y durante su historia ha sido testigo de uno de los deportes más arraigados de la zona, la pelota. La iglesia fue construida en el siglo XIII y en ella destaca su torre de planta cuadrada con cuatro pisos. El interior presenta las características típicas de la arquitectura religiosa de la zona: una sola nave, sin pilares, cubierta con madera y unos pisos superiores llamados galerías. La iglesia está considerada Monumento Histórico desde 1996. Está rodeada por un cementerio que conserva estelas discoidales de los siglos XVI-XVIII con motivos solares, elementos geométricos o referencias a los oficios de los difuntos.
El intenso verde del valle de Xareta contrasta con las preciosas casas que están perfectamente alineadas a ambos lados de la calle. Las más destacadas son las llamadas Grachicotena y Gorritia. Las fachadas de las casas más antiguas exhiben inscripciones que sus propietarios originales ordenaron grabar. Algunas de ellas indican el año en que fue construida aunque la más sorprendente hace referencia al origen del capital con la que fue adquirida. Esta se halla sobre el dintel de la Casa Gorritia y completa su texto transmitiendo una curiosa costumbre según la cual la primera generación de herederos de una casa no podía deshacerse de ella salvo en el caso de necesidad extrema.
En Ainhoa también destacan el antiguo lavadero, donde el 23 de Septiembre de 1858, Louis Napoleón Bonaparte y la Emperatriz Eugénie descendieron con su comitiva a la fuente denominada Alhaxurruta para reponer fuerzas.
Ainhoa es un bellísimo pueblo lleno de historia y encanto que te invita dar un paseo, a descubrir su patrimonio o realizar rutas de senderismo disfrutando de la belleza del valle. Cuenta con más de 65 Km de senderos, hay rutas para todos los niveles y algunas de ellas conectan con los pueblos de la comarca y las cuevas de los alrededores.
A la hora de comer podemos disfrutar de la deliciosa gastronomía de la zona en unos restaurantes ubicados en posadas del Siglo XVII. Algunos de ellos cuentan con vistas a los Pirineos y a la comarca de Xareta. “La Maison Oppoca” y “Ohantzea” (la única casa de color azul) son dos preciosos salones de té. En ellos podemos degustar diferentes variedades de té o chocolate casero que se puede acompañar con pastel vasco, tartas y otros dulces.
Merece la pena recorrer despacio la única calle de esta localidad, observando con detenimiento sus casas perfectamente alineadas que forman un paraje de cuento a los pies de los Pirineos.

在日本，有愈來愈多年輕背包客，不靠傳統旅遊指南，而是上網爬文、勤寫筆記，訂作個人私房行程（某次我就當面撞見有日本女生從隨身行囊中抽出一本手帖大小的刊物，一問之下才發現那是她自制的旅遊小冊子）。這種手工講究、規画用心的迷你旅人誌，其實也算是zine的一種表現。像是日前才創刊的「Short Short」，就是一本屬於進階自助旅行者，剛剛好一人份的小旅行zine。第一号特集雖是我們已相當熟悉的台北，但若照實循著路線指示走，反而會開始迷失，慢慢浮現一種奇妙異人感，變成絕佳的文化体驗。
Typesetting: the retrieval of stored letters and the ordering of them according to a language's orthography for visual display.
During much of the letterpress era, movable type was composed by hand for each page.
Cast metal sorts were composited into words and lines of text and tightly bound together to make up a page image called a forme, with all letter faces exactly the same height to form an even surface of type. The forme was mounted in a press, inked, and an impression made on paper.
Macro Monday project – 09/16/13
“Typography”
Several of my Flickr contacts have in recent days posted shots showing their images that have been published in magazines, so I thought I would get on the bandwagon.
I was pleased to recently have one of my photos selected as the lead image for Shutterbug magazine’s “Picture This” feature, in which readers submit images based on a certain theme or topic. My image is at the top right here, and appeared in the May 2015 issue of Shutterbug for the “Low-Light Noir” assignment. If you zoom in, you should be able to read the text, if you’re interested. The image was posted originally on Flickr last November for a Macro Monday “Film Noir” theme, and can be viewed here.
I am submitting this image for Our Daily Challenge: “Choose Your Own Topic”

Most of you probably know, but if not, Japan was hit by an 8.9 Magnitude Earthquake Friday March 11, 2011 at 2:46 pm Japan Time. After the quake there was an ensuing Tsunami wave that devastated many coastal communities in Japan, destroying homes cars and lives.
This hits close to home for me since I have friends and family residing in Japan so I urge you all to please donate towards the relief efforts that are being set into motion.
You can text REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation to the Red Cross who will see that your donations are put to good use.
I'VE TEXTED THIS 1 TIME.

If you have facebook then follow this link and like Their goal is to reach 100K likes and they'll send $100K to Japan for the relief efforts. But only if that goal is reached in 10 days. If you can't donate money then this could be your way of helping!:

Arthur Fellig's notable mobile darkroom would be wonderfully imagined inside of a taxi cab (for my next design) but here divinely transformed into a chinese country kitchen; a way to honor his life (with a more homelike, gourmet touch). Industrial water jugs loaded into the back seat and fresh fowl in a comfortable cage allows him to park in an alley (close to a gutter for cleaning the fowl) for a healthy farm-fresh meal. He can supplant this with live fish and fresh greens from any Manhattan market. In the winter he can grill sesame buns the old-fashioned way and have these with a simple green soup for an invigorating early breakfast just before heading out to the streets with his camera. Chinese condiments are held by a rail and a bamboo brush keeps the mobile kitchen clean. The hobby of country style cooking will not only raise his spirits but extend his life as well.
Re-envisioned for his old age, Weegee would have to rely on Polaroid camera backs for his Speed Graphic, placing them on a custom two-tiered brass and wood shelf at the front seat. Drawers for Nat Sherman's, flash bulbs, film and a pull out 'Weegee board' for the photojournalist's typewriter are all considered here. Strong shock absorbers and larger tires would have to be outfitted particularly to bear the weight of the iron stove.

For the scavenger hunt. Poem number 8. I chose this representation as my H and I spend a lot of time writing to each other, whether it's proper letters, emails, blueys, or texts. Life dictates that this is the way our relationship has to be. Although it's hard when we he is away, seeing a letter come through the door is one of the best feelings in the world. So it's not all bad.
i carry your heart with me
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
